Lamentations 3:20-32

I was reading this yesterday, and it REALLY stood out to me.

This passage was written while Jeremiah was going through a lot of pain, things that we can't even comprehend. Yet, in the midst of all that, he had hope. This passage is one that we should all keep in mind when we're going through a rough time. It beautifully describes the goodness of our Lord, and his love for us.

Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

24 I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."

25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;

26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.

27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.

28 Let him sit alone in silence,
for the LORD has laid it on him.

29 Let him bury his face in the dust—
there may yet be hope.

30 Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,
and let him be filled with disgrace.

31 For men are not cast off
by the Lord forever.

32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.

Have a blessed day.

Love,
Julie
